Rumors have been circulating on social media that the immediate past Minister of Defence in Nigeria, Major Gen Bashir Salihi Magashi (rtd), has passed away.
However, a fact check has revealed that the news is fake.
The post reads in full:
“WE HAVE RECEIVED THE NEWS OF THE LAMENTABLE DEATH OF THE ILLUSTRIOUS MAJOR GENERAL BASHIR SALIHI MAGASHI, immediate past Minister of Defence. He was one of the National Patrons of Team New Nigeria.
“It is meet that we as human beings express our abiding love and reverence for his life, our deep sorrow for his death. “May he rest in peace, in shaaa Allah. Thank you.”
The post claiming his death did not provide any reason for his alleged passing.
To verify the authenticity of the claim, PRNigeria reached out to the spokesperson of the former minister, Mallam Abdulkadir Muhammad, who confirmed that Magashi is alive and healthy.
In a previous statement, Magashi had called for prayers from the United States government for Nigeria, rather than a terror alert.
